Those who read the James Herbert novel '48 will be familiar with the concept behind 28 Days Later.What if you and only a handful of other people were the sole survivors of a deadly killer virus and aside from finding enough food,fuel and water to survive,you also had to evade a gang of blood-hungry infected people with a psychological yearning to kill?It's an original,intriguing but ultimately off-puttingly nightmarish idea.Aside from this,28 Days Later is a film that's worth watching if for nothing else,its brilliant visual style.The look of a deserted,ransacked London is just one of the many breath-takingly original and exciting looks to the film.Danny Boyle is truely one of the pioneers in terms of British film-making,and can push us through to the next-level in rivalling Hollywood.****
